Get position of wxTextCtrl

Use the method GetPosition() available in wxWindow . It's in the documentation. You probably did not find it because you still do not understand object-orientation inheritance well. A class has everything that was created in it plus what it inherited from the upper classes, so you have to look at the documentation of the classes that are part of the class you are using. Of course you have documentation that puts everything, it's easier but that's not the case with this library.
